Overview

INTRODUCTION: WHY THE HIMALAYA MATTERS NOW The world is entering a century unlike any before. Climate instability, ecological collapse, democratic decay, social fragmentation, and technological disruption are reshaping the human condition. In this age of discontinuity-where consequences no longer follow actions, and governance lags far behind reality-the world must rediscover a deeper, older form of wisdom. Himalaya Stands Taller is a profound attempt to reimagine governance, economics, ecology, and leadership through this Himalayan lens. Drawing on fifty years of professional experience across energy, water, climate policy, development planning, political reform, and global governance-from Nepal to the UN- the book crafts a narrative that blends personal insight, scientific evidence, moral philosophy, and systems thinking into a powerful manifesto for a regenerative future. This book is not about the Himalaya alone. It is about humanity-seen from the clarity of the mountains. PART I - THE AGE OF DISCONTINUITY The ""Age of Discontinuity"" emerges because modern governance has fragmented. Ministries operate in silos-forests separate from water, energy separate from climate, budgets separate from ecology, short-term politics separate from long-term survival. This fragmentation turns nations into disconnected machines: efficient in parts, broken as a whole. The chapter argues an uncomfortable truth. PART II - THE FIVE ELEMENTS & THE MORAL ARCHITECTURE The book unfolds its central philosophical scaffolding: a revitalised interpretation of the Panchamahabhutas-Prithvi (earth), Jala (water), Agni (energy), Vayu (air), and Akasha (space/consciousness). These are not ancient metaphors, but modern governance principles. Karma → Accountability Dharma → Duty & Cooperation Samabhav → Balance & Equity Sewa → Regeneration & Stewardship PART III - INSTITUTIONS FOR THE AGE OF CONTINUITY This section turns diagnosis into design. The Organic Economy A nation is not an industrial machine-it is an ecosystem. The chapter proposes a shift from GDP-centric development to ecological economics, illustrating how countries like Costa Rica, Bhutan, and parts of Scandinavia created prosperity without destroying nature. Rivers, Energy & the PSH Revolution The Himalayan Constitution of Commons The Non-Extractive Society The Digital Dharma Grid PART IV - LEADERSHIP FOR A NEW CIVILIZATION This part highlights the human transformation required for systemic transformation. Internal Democracy & the Youthocratic Turn Political decay begins inside political parties-not in elections. The Raj Dharma State The Conscious Leader's Manual The Himalayan Toolkit for Youth Leaders PART V - GLOBAL GOVERNANCE & THE FUTURE This section broadens the Himalayan lens to global governance. The Global Policymaker's Toolkit A framework for redesigning institutions (UN, IMF, World Bank) around climate stability, ecological justice, and regenerative economics. Global Vision 2100 - A Planet Built on Balance A 75-year blueprint rooted in the Himalayan logic of balance. It offers five pillars: Regenerated democracies Equality among nations Regenerative global economy Ecological security Technology with conscience This is one of the most ambitious long-term visions presented in any contemporary policy book. The Himalayan Message to the World - Continuity Begins The final chapter delivers a powerful, unforgettable message: Humanity will survive not by innovation alone, but by balance, restraint, and moral courage. The Himalaya stands taller not because of height, but because of perspective.
